History VideoGame / ElibianNights

* InterfaceScrew: Rath's tale uses the same evil type of FogOfWar as ''Thracia 776'' - blank one-color fog tiles that make it impossible to see anything under them. Think you can just cheat and use the minimap? [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything It's been disabled.]] Have fun!

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: Anna, the recurring character for the series, has an updated sprite based on her appearance in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening''.

* The final tale starring [[UsedToBeASweetKid Ze]][[BrokenAce phi]][[MoralEventHorizon el]].

* The upcoming final tale starring [[UsedToBeASweetKid Ze]][[BrokenAce phi]][[MoralEventHorizon el]].

* WeakButSkilled: In Hector's tale, [[spoiler:Erik. Fitting of his typically lame character, he comes unpromoted, at level 20 with sweet equipment and a few stats capped, but is still weaker than even his own AI allies, and most of the other player units. If nothing else, Erik makes a good MeatShield - but you can avert this if you steal Yorick's Knight Crest and promote him.]]

* '''Homecoming:''' Having abdicated her claim to Caelin, Lyn is travelling back to Sacae to seek to live with the Kutolah tribe, but is interrupted by an attack from the warring Djute tribe.

* '''Cornwell's Vengeance:''' Seeking revenge for the destruction of his family and home, Raven leads [[RagtagBandOfMisfits his friends and family]] to the Western Isles in pursuit of the men responsible.

* Two as-yet undefined tales, one of which is implied to involve [[spoiler:Nino]], and the upcoming final tale starring [[UsedToBeASweetKid Ze]][[BrokenAce phi]][[MoralEventHorizon el]].

* HeelFaceTurn: Karel's tale recounts how he turned from the bloodthirsty "Sword Demon" to the wise "Sword Saint". Other examples present include Erik and Sykes.

Technologically-speaking, it's probably ''the'' most ambitious ''Fire Emblem'' hack there is - it implements numerous features not seen in any of the GBA ''Fire Emblem'' games (or indeed, any entry in the series at all) like an achievement system, new victory objectives and numerous new music tracks imported from other ''Fire Emblem'' games[[hottip:*:note that, while difficult, it's definitely not unheard of in the FE hacking community]], in addition to new and imported classes and weapons, minor alterations to gameplay and cosmetic makeovers.

* MarathonLevel: Karel's tale is six maps back-to-back.

''[[http://elibiannights.blogspot.com/ Elibian Nights]]'' is an in-progress GameMod of ''[[FireEmblemElibe Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword]]'', developed by a team led by proficient ''FireEmblem'' hacker Arch. Set in the twenty years between ''Blazing Sword'' and ''Sword of Seals'', it follows events in the lives of numerous characters from both games, fills in unstated gaps in the proceedings of the TimeSkip, and wraps up story threads mentioned in ''Blazing Sword'''s epilogue. The game is split into nine "tales", plus several hidden sidequest tales:

** '''Poisoned by Madness:''' [[spoiler:Prasad, a Kutolah herbalist, turns out to be an orphaned member of the Djute clan with a chip on his shoulder. A Djute sorcerer manipulates Prasad's hatred of Dayan to make him kidnap Lyn, luring Rath and Dayan into a trap.]] The map, a pitch-dark cave maze of doom, is a homage to ''[[FireEmblemJugdral Thracia 776]]'''s hellish FogOfWar maps.

* TheCameo: The big example is that [[FireEmblemJugdral Siglud, Eltshan and Cuan]] can be found scattered across the chapters, separated and claiming to have no idea how they ended up in Elibe. Some other characters from the two Elibe games show up in a minor cameo capacity, like Noah (a young boy from a village Karel "saved", as discussed in their ''Sword of Seals''

* ContinuityPorn: Pent's tale contains artifacts of nearly every game in the series, including [[FireEmblemTheSacredStones Eirika's bracelet]], the [[FireEmblemJugdral Baldo Scroll]], and the [[FireEmblemAkaneia Leo orb]].

* {{Expy}}: The concept as a whole is an expy of ''[[FireEmblemAkaneia BS Fire Emblem: Akaneia War Chronicles]]''; the concept originated as a direct remake of those games, but that was rendered unnecessary by the announcement that ''New Mystery of the Emblem'' would contain remakes of them.

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: One of the foes Karel recounts killing in his tale is a giant cyclops named Gigais living in the mountains. It's a monster lifted from ''[[FireEmblemTheSacredStones The Sacred Stones]]''. He exists to be the victim of a CurbStompBattle.

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: Anna, the recurring character for the series, has an updated sprite based on her appearance in FireEmblemAwakening.

* TheCameo: The big example is that [[FireEmblemJugdral Siglud, Eltshan and Cuan]] can be found scattered across the chapters, separated and claiming to have no idea how they ended up in Elibe. Some other characters from the two Elibe games show up in a minor cameo capacity, like Noah (a young boy from a village Karel "saved", as discussed in their ''Sword of Seals'' supports).

** '''Poisoned by Madness:''' [[spoiler:Prasad, a Kutolah herbalist, turns out to be an orphaned member of the Djute clan with a chip on his shoulder. A Djute sorceror manipulates Prasad's hatred of Dayan to make him kidnap Lyn, luring Rath and Dayan into a trap.]] The map, a pitch-dark cave maze of doom, is a homage to ''[[FireEmblemJugdral Thracia 776]]'''s hellish FogOfWar maps.

* TheUnfought: [[spoiler:Wayra, the Djute sorceror from the Sacae tales. He sticks around long enough to [[HoistByHisOwnPetard get owned by Prasad in his delirious rage]], but [[VillainTeleportation he flees right afterward]].]]

* GenerationXerox: [[spoiler:Damas, the less-than-bright first boss of ''Sword of Seals'', makes a cameo appearance as a lesser mook in tale 1 if you clear it fast enough. In this game he's ''Onslow's son''.]]

** '''Poisoned by Madness:''' [[spoiler:Prasad, a Kutolah herbalist, turns out to be an orphaned member of the Djute clan with a chip on his shoulder. A Djute sorceror manipulates his hatred of Dayan to make him kidnap Lyn, luring Rath and Dayan into a trap.]] The map, a pitch-dark cave maze of doom, is a homage to ''[[FireEmblemJugdral Thracia 776]]'''s hellish FogOfWar maps.
* '''A Leader's Trials:''' Unsatisfied with his rule, a triumvirate of Lycian marquesses are seeking to overthrow Hector's rule as the leader of Lycia.
* '''The Archsage's Pupil:''' In furthering his study on [[ArtificialHuman morphs]] to complete Archsage Athos' research, Pent is guided by Renault to the Dread Isle to observe what few morphs still live.

** '''Rebuilding Pherae:''' After the bandits are run out of Pherae, [[NonActionGuy Merlinus]] arrives to help coordinate the reconstruction of nearby villages. Some of the royal knights tag along to watch his back, and a good thing too, as the leader of the bandits returns with more men.

** '''Unwanted Visitors:''' After their visit to the Dread Isle and [[spoiler:Renault's death]], Pent and Louise return home to Etruria to look after their growing family. In the middle of a nice dinner with their old friend General Douglas, assassins burst into Pent's mansion.

* FramingDevice: A pair of travellers were kidnapped to tell stories to a spoilt young [[HelloInsertNameHere prince/princess]]; they settle on telling him/her several stories about Elibe.

* HeelFaceTurn: One of the chapters shows how Karel turned from the bloodthirsty "Sword Demon" to the wise "Sword Saint". Other examples present include Erik and Sykes.

* InterfaceScrew: Rath's tale uses the same evil type of FogOfWar as ''Thracia 776'' - blank one-color fog tiles that make it impossible to see anything under them. Think you can just cheat and use the minimap or terrain indicator? [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything They suddenly don't work.]] Have fun!

* {{Fanon}}: The game makes full use of CanonFodder to fill in gaps of things barely hinted at in the two Elibe games, including the entire Ilian mercenary system, the relationship between Hector and his half-brother Orun (and the appearance of the latter), how Karel calmed down, and who was really responsible for the downfall of House Cornwell.

* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: [[spoiler:Erik, in a rare positive example - as soon as Dawson and Yorick launch their rebellion, he turns on them and sides with Hector [[EnemyMine despite their differences]]. The way he figures it, Laus is better off positioning itself to ''not'' face Hector's wrath after the battle is over.]]

** '''Unwelcome Visitors:''' After their visit to the Dread Isle and [[spoiler:Renault's death]], Pent and Louise return home to Etruria to look after their growing family. In the middle of a nice dinner with their old friend General Douglas, assassins burst into Pent's mansion.

** '''Poisoned by Madness:''' [[spoiler:Prasad, a Kutolah herbalist, turns out to be an orphaned member of the Djute clan with one hell of a chip on his soldier. He captures Lyn to lure Rath and Dayan into a trap.]] The map, a pitch-dark cave maze of doom, is a homage to ''[[FireEmblemJugdral Thracia 776]]'''s hellish FogOfWar maps.

* GameBreakingBug: Occasionally some pretty debilitating ones crop up. There have been three "final" releases of the former "version" of the hack. The first of the three, intended to be the final one, didn't allow you to progress to Zealot's tale; whenever you tried to select it, it'd just restart the entire game. That error was eventually patched and made Zealot's tale playable... but now when ''it'' was completed, it instead kicked you to Chapter 10 of Lyn's tale of the original game, except now glitchy and unplayable. That too was eventually rectified, allowing Legault's tale to be playable... [[RuleOfThree but when]] ''[[RuleOfThree it]]'' was completed without recruiting a certain character, the game suffered a severe error and practically tore itself apart. Whoops.
* GeniusProgramming

* NoOneCouldSurviveThat / NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:Ephidel survived his apparent death at the hands of the unleashed dragons.]]

** '''Poisoned by Madness:''' [[spoiler:Prasad, a Kutolah herbalist, turns out to be an orphaned member of the Djute clan with one hell of a chip on his soldier. He captures Lyn to lure Rath and Dayan into a trap.]] The map, a pitch-dark cave maze of doom, is a homage to ''[[FireEmblemJugdral Thracia 776]]'''s hellish fog of war maps.

* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: [[spoiler:Erik, in a rare positive example - as soon as Dawson and Yorick launch their rebellion, he turns on them and sides with Hector [[EnemyMine despite their differences]].]]

* FramingDevice: A pair of travellers were kidnapped to tell stories to a young [[HelloInsertNameHere prince/princess]]; they settle on telling him/her several stories about Elibe.

* HopelessBossFight: Karel's fight against Kaherdin. It's still possible to win - and you get an achievement for doing so - but the odds are very much against you.

* InterfaceScrew: As a joke, a minor bug-fixing update replaced the names of all the focal characters with "[[Memes/FireEmblem Vergil]]", poking fun at several ongoing FanTranslation dramas on Serenes Forest.
